Go Green's Notes from Post
Last Newsletter of 2023! Here is this week's news!
The Rose Bowl of Wrestling
We had a strong contingent of wrestlers attend the Wilkes Open and we were able to crown a champion. Congrats to Firstie Tanner Craig on his title! We got wins from all 17 athletes who entered and it was a good variety of competition with every major DI conference represented, plus a strong group of D3 grapplers.
We also got top 3 finishes from the following:
125 Joe Couch
133 Conor Collins
141 Shane Percelay/Rich Treanor
165 Andrew Christie
We also ran into some of our friends from USMAPS and it was fun to watch them get all 4 guys they brought onto the podium.
Special Thanks to injured Firsties Joe Metz, Tyler Morris and Mark Montgomery for giving up a day of break to help coach their teammates.
Sheridan Invitational
Coach Ward was in the Lehigh Valley with a group of guys as well and it was a good day results wise against a strong DI only field.
The big news is 3x NCAA Qualifier Ben Pasiuk is back at 174 and he finished as runner-up to a very tough Indiana foe.
Gunner also made a weight drop and finished 2nd as well at 165.
Other placers:
165 Dakota Morris 4th
197 Wolfgang Frable 4th
285 Austin Kohlhofer 3rd
